I realize that it might seem insensitive of me to complain about dry weather when southern California is flooded and people are stranded in the Paris airport because of snow, but I’d be quite happy to a decent snowfall in Boulder before the year is out. It hasn’t happened yet this season, which is unprecedented in the 26 previous winters I’ve seen here. A quick check of the ski reports shows that most areas have most of their lifts open, so I guess the mountains are getting snow, but we’re not getting any down here and, frankly, I miss it.
